"There's not a better job on the planet than judging that f---ing karaoke contest," the shock jock said. "It would be the best thing that happened to me...What a cush job -- $100 million for four months. Who wouldn't take that?"

DioGuardi, 39, had nicer things to say about the musical bonafides of Idol newcomer Ellen DeGeneres. "Ellen brings a sense of humor, of course, but also I think she knows more about music than we think she does," she explained.

"She had a really good handle on whether a contestant had potential," DioGuardi added. "She knew that something was off in the vocals or in their performance…I thought she delivered the message with kindness but also had criticism in there...she did an incredible job for her first time there."
